A rack of lamb makes an impressive meal. The good news? It isn't difficult to make. This recipe uses a blend of fresh spices, nutty pistachios and Dijon mustard that give the lamb great flavour and texture. Perfectly accompanied by barbecued vegetables.
Ingredients

- Sea-salt flakes, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2/3 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
